history

The area of ​​the district of Bühl belonged mainly to the margraviate of Baden-Baden . At the beginning of the 19th century , the Grand Duchy of Baden formed several offices , including the office or district office of Bühl, which belonged to the state commissioner district of Karlsruhe . This has been changed several times in the course of history. In 1924, for example, it received some municipalities from the disbanded Baden District Office and the municipalities of the Achern Office. Like all Baden district offices in 1939 was awarded the district office Buhl due to the "Law on the county self-government" , the term district Buhl .

After the formation of the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952, the district of Bühl belonged to the administrative district of South Baden . As a result of the municipal reform from 1970 onwards, the district area changed in three cases.

On July 1, 1972, the town of Steinbach and the communities Neuweier and Varnhalt were assigned to the Baden-Baden district . With effect from January 1, 1973, the district of Bühl was finally dissolved. The northern part and with it the district town Bühl was assigned to the enlarged Rastatt district , the southern part to the newly formed Ortenau district . The legal successor of the Bühl district was the Rastatt district.

Until it merged with the Rastatt rifle circle in 2014, the Bühl shooting club bore the coat of arms of the district and was within the limits of before 1972.
